4 Theatrical Agents Trip.

A week or so ago W. A Mcconnell left
Owensboro, KY, to go to Evansville, Ind, on
an Ohio river steamboat. He embarked at
p. m, and having disposed of his retinue he
turned into his berth and gave the captain
orders to awaken him when the boat reached
Evansville. "What time do we get therep
he asked "Ten o'clock to night" replied the
captain. The distance between the two points
is thirty miles, Being tired, Mr.. Mcconnell
turned into bis berth for few hours sleep.
When he awoke the sun was shining brightly.
He groped for his watch and looked at it. 1t
was O'Clock in the morningI He rushed out
in his stocking feet to the main deck and
hailed the captain with few choice Morton
house epithets.
"Have we passed Memphis yeti" he yelled.
The captain looked at him in dumb astonish-
ment.

as he danced around the poop deck while the
crew looked on bewildered "What in blank

officer.

Chinese Mind Readers.

Mind reading or "Bishopism" is called by
the Chinese in China "Lew Jee" or Glowing
knowledge"
There is one of these living in the city
of Canton, China, who beats Messrs. Bishop
and Montague of Boston, America, by at
least ten points. This Glowing Enowledger"
of the 1owery kingdom not only reads the
thoughts and detects the actions of his
patients who come to see him, but could go so
far as to be able to tell who was to be his
next caller, giving the day and the hour, and
even to the very cent the caller would have
in his pocket, and the exact portion that he
Qew Jee was to get out of it.
But, unlike his American rivals, his knOwl-
edge only extends to thirty-six patients in
each day, that being the limit of his power
on each day. 1t is also very singular that
such knowledge begins TO flow at 10 a. IN. and
falls at about p. IN. regularly for the past
two years.
The Chinese say, that in order to obtain
such wonderful foresights, a man must be
In silent prayers to the gods for the period Of

had the pleasure of inspecting the kitchen, or
rather kitchens, of one Of our largest clubs
the other afternoon. The chef, a very rosy
and very polite little Frenchman, was super
intending the cooking of "a private dinner
for twelve" He never touched his hand to
dish or saucepan, but simply issued orders,
which were promptly carried out by his as
sistants Everything ran on like clock work,
and one elaborate dish after another came
into harmonious being as if by magic. This
particular head chef made wide reputation

How Not to Teach.

DR.. Jessop, himself an old headmast>
er, makes some remarks as good as they
are true: ~ once caught some melan+
choly children at a certain elementary
school engaged in grammar lesson, and
shocked at the morne and somber aspect
of affairs, l desperately interpolated an
altogether extraneous question, Little
girl, that's all right,-but what do you
know of Admiral Nelson?' Please, sir,
we only do nouns and adjectives,' was
the prompt reply. We have not got in
to verbs She actually lived within a
stones throw of house which belonged
to Nelson's father, and in which some
believe that the Norfolk hero was born /;
but my lords encourage adverbs and
discourage Admirals. If were to draw
up history of my parish in words of
not more than three syllables. and to
weave in number of interesting facts
about the general history of England,
and tell them little stories to make their
little flesh creep, would my lords let it
pass as reading book? 1 asked of an
authority. 'N-n-nOl l don't think
they would was the cautious answer
Because. you see, etc, ETC., etc.-I was
too crushed tu give due attention to the
rest"
Was the authority of the East Anglican
school inspector who,delighting in com
mon sense questions, propounded this:
"If met you coming down the village
street and said Animal ANIMAL what
would you say?' The right answer re-
mains mystery; the real one ran: 'Saa!
shud saal yeow was fule.' Undaunt-
ed, the examiner next asked why the sea

aBOys, Flag the Train"

Suggested by the Wreck on New York Cen

Thundered the midnight train
Along its track of steel,
No signal light was there
The danger to reveal.
Where forces silently
Of frost, and rain and snow
Had lOosed the rocks and earth.
And hurled them down below.
Guiding his fiery steed,
Brave Edward Kennars stood
Under the headlights glare.
Peering through plain and wood,
Ah, what charge is his!
A chance mistake. and he
Might hand these trusting souls
Into eternity.

Onward Though bridge and vale,
Swift an arrow flies,
Or bolt from darkened skies.

Thinking that very soon
Finished another run,
Long. anxious days work done,
Home from nights gloom.
A crash-a plunge-a wreck
Where is the engineer,
Brave Edward Kennars, now,
Whose heart ne'er qusiled with fear
Mangled, and torn, and crushed,
Quivering with every breath.
And sinking rapidly
Into the arms of death.
A rumbling noise is heard,
Nearer the laundering sound;
Echoes the distant hills,
Trembles the very ground;
'Tls the swift East expressl
He rouSes up again,
Hears the dread sound, and dies

OFFICIAL FEMININE BEAUTY.

How the Gushing Washington Corre-
spondents Overpaint Their Pictures.
1t is not always safe to accept the descrip-
tions of the society correspondents at Wash
ington literally. The standards of judgment
there are not precisely the same as elsewhere,
and loveliness is considered as going as mat
ter of course with certain positions. For in
stance, a congressman may be ugly or good
looking, able or weak, honest or knavish;
but a congressman's wife is ex-off1cio lovely;
and though various congressman with all sorts
of wives, old and young, brown and blonde,
tall and short, sweet and shrewish, come and
go, the ideal wife of the congressman remains
the same, and in the eyes of the correspond
ent she is always lovely.
In this way, too, the senator's wife is ex-
officio exquisitely lovely. The wives of the
supreme court judges, the foreign represen-
tatives and the cabinet ministers, are eX-officio
entrancingly lovely. As for the presidents
wife she is ex-officio "beyond all whooping,"
to use a Shakesperian phrase Language is
inadequate to express her loveliness. 1t Is
the failure of the average citizen to appre-
ciate this treatment of beauty as an official
attribute that leads to the disappointment Of
many visitors at Washington. They go ex-
pecting to see visions of feminine loveliness
floating about the streets of the national
capital In their fancy, it is peopled with
beauty like Armida's garden or the enchanted
island of Camoens, or the paradise of Ma
homet. They have heard of at least fifty wo-
men who walk with the grace OF Diane of
Poictiers, 100 who have inherited the witch
ing smile of Ninon de rEnclos, $50 who have
found the lost arms of the Venus of Milo, 200
with the persuasive charms of Phryne-and
SO ON through the long catalogue of profess
sional beauties of history, art and poetry.
But the imaginative tourist finds little in
the reality to justify his anticipations The
gay and festive ladies of the society cor
respondent generally appear to his unskilled
eye as sensible middle aged, or elderly wo-
men. The 1.-the, the graceful, the sinuous
the svelte, the luminous eyed, the full
bosomed danes that are metamorphosed into
very ordinary people connected by marriage

rhe wheat crop of 1886 was 40, ,566, 1858

The present prospect for the crop of 1887 is,

Thirty one counties estimate the condition

Travelling EngIishmen.

If another proof were wanted Of the fact
that in spite of the depression of trade money
is still plentiful in this country, it might be
found in the circumstance that the number of
people who left England last year, not as
emigrants, but bound on extended pleasure
trips or in search of health, was larger than
it has ever been before since the invention of
steamships. Leaving the shorter trips taken
to Gibraltar, Malta and other European
places quite out of the question, the total
refer to included no less than 59,3S2 individ-
uals. This large number-which beats the
next highest, that of 1884, by 1,979-is partly
owing to the Colonial and Indian exhibition;
